Well, that was an interesting debate. Somewhat off the topic from the typical school board issues...
Dr. Caduceus's revelation about the snake was confirmed when his former buddy Carl Crotalus was found living on the other side of the country. Mr. Crotalus remembers little of the incident owing to the head injury and the passage of time, but medical records do show he was treated for a concussion on that date. So, everything checks out.
And now we enter the realm of speculation. If not for that incident, would Dad and Ms. Caudal have married upon their maturity? Dad would've never married the sterile Angelique, never adopted me, never gone online to meet Kell... Wow. A little school board election was probably the least significant outcome of that day so long ago.
Dad probably would've led a convention rabbit life. I wonder if he harbors any regrets over the path not taken. One thing's for sure, this path hasn't been dull...
